Once upon a time in Wilmington, North Carolina, three witches ran a curio shop named Smuggler’s Arcane. But as the years passed, their magical powers started to fade—leaving them no choice but to conjure up a retirement package…
Before they could blink their eyes or twitch their noses, Molly, Elsie, and Olivia somehow became eligible for AARP. But they can’t fly off to Boca Raton just yet. First they must give up their magic, recruit and train three new witches, and pass on their cherished spellbook.
They’ve barely begun to consider potential practitioners when Olivia winds up dead and their spellbook is stolen. To honor their friend and reclaim their spells, Molly and Elsie are about to go wand-to-wand with a dangerous young witch more powerful than the trio was in their prime. And this time they’re going to need more than magic up their sleeves…

Once the rafflecopter loaded I LOVE the idea of the spell being spread out over all 15 days.
What a great prize package. I don’t know if I’m going to have time in the next couple days to do it but thanks for doing this.
Love the look of this one and love the way the tour is set up to look for magical words!
I must be a very very stupid witch, everytime I follow any of the url’s I get to someones blog with many entries. I can’t find the “magic words”. I am not finding the right places to look. I really like the idea and I love the prize but I guess I’ll have to go with my 1 free entry because I’ve spent a lot of time going nowhere. Good luck to my smarter entrants
Saw plenty of shares of FB and Twitter, so I posted to Google+.
